I'd like to find the specific podcast episode titled "#1: The Single White Guy Focus Group." According to the iTunes search API, I believe I should be able to find it with the following:
https://itunes.apple.com/search?term=%231:+The+Single+Straight+Guy+Focus+Group&entity=podcast&attribute=keywordsTerm
But that returns an empty JSON. I also tried
https://itunes.apple.com/search?term=The+Single+Straight+Guy+Focus+Group&entity=podcast
... and ...
https://itunes.apple.com/search?term=The+Single+Straight+Guy+Focus+Group
... but I always get the same result.
{
"resultCount":0,
"results": []
}
I'm baffled. I know the episode is in there - here it is.
https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/1-single-straight-guy-focus/id775053292?i=1000375469754&mt=2
(posting full url so deliberately, so you can see that indeed there is a url which does point to that specific episode)
So why can't I find it?
EDIT: Note that I am doing this in an Obj-C iOS app, in case that is relevant.
If you submitted your content to Apple, and don't see it on Apple Podcasts, make sure: Your show, channel, or subscription has been approved and shows a Published status. Your show release date precedes the current date.
After a TON of hair-pulling, I've found that there is an undocumented entity (podcastEpisode) that does what we all want.
So, on the off-chance the original poster is still at this after 3 years (or more likely other frustrated folks like myself browsing) - try this (using the original example):
https://itunes.apple.com/search?term=The+Single+Straight+Guy+Focus+Group&entity=podcastEpisode
